SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on resolving an issue with definite integrals in Mathematica 6.030. The user attempted to evaluate the integral of the function \(((2A)(E^{-d((m x^2)/h)})^2\) from 0 to infinity but received an unexpected result that included the variable \(x\). The solution was clarified by suggesting the correct use of the DIntegrate function for definite integration, which resolved the user's confusion.
